EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the reopening of St Saviours Church in Southwark as a Cathedral for South London. The image, created by Samuel Begg and now part of a private collection, transports us back to 1897 when this significant event took place. The grandeur and solemnity of the occasion are evident in every detail depicted within the print. We see distinguished figures such as the Archbishop of Canterbury, members of royalty including the Prince and Duchess of Teck, along with other prominent individuals like the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress. Their presence adds an air of prestige to this monumental event. The interior of St Saviours Church turned Cathedral is beautifully portrayed, showcasing its architectural splendor. The intricate details on pillars, arches, and stained glass windows are brought to life through Begg's skilled craftsmanship. This engraving not only commemorates a historical milestone but also highlights the importance placed on places of worship during that era. It serves as a reminder that these sacred spaces hold immense significance for communities across London. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both regality and spirituality in one frame. It stands as a testament to our rich cultural heritage while inviting us to reflect upon our own connection with faith and history.
